Production Made by
KPU Students
COHORT provides opportunities for KPU students to engage in truly experiential learning. Every project is unique and allows students to collaborate with the KPU community in creative and interdisciplinary ways.

COHORT also allows students to
apply the skills they learn in their
classes directly within real-world
situations, and the products they
will produce can be used in their
portfolios.
How much does it cost to work with COHORT?
COHORT is funded by the work-integrated-learning (WIL) department at KPU. WIL provides the funding to pay COHORT members to work with KPU departments, so a collaboration with COHORT does not require any department funding; it is covered by WIL. For merchandising projects such as t-shirts, books, hats, etc., departments pay for the cost of the materials, and COHORT does the rest. For example, to make 30 t-shirts, the costs would be approximately as follows. T-shirts can be purchased for about $3.30 each, and depending on the size of your logo/image, the supplies for this would be approximately $70-$100. So for about $130, COHORT can make 30 original t-shirts in a variety of colours, textures, and finishes from plain matte colours, to sparkly, hologram, glow-in-the-dark, puffy, etc. To purchase 30 t-shirts from a vendor would cost 3 or 4 times that amount, and there aren't as many options as we can provide with COHORT.
​
For video projects, posters, social media, and other forms of digital media, all of the costs are covered by WIL, so there is no cost to your department.
